Wonder how much power the R1 fleet wastes in a given month, 25k+ vehicles vampire draining the grid....how ? green ?
Someone plowed into my EV6, it sat for almost 3 week getting repaired; I occasionally logged in to my app to check surround photos and check to see where it had been (it does not...
My Kia EV6 (same family as yours) has spectacular driving aids. It is going to suck to go back to pre 2018 technology when It comes to driving assistance.
Rivian should grab a couple of Hyuandais/Kias for comparison purposes and start mimicking them, from what I gather they have the needed...
I fear this is what I am going to be most disappointed in when I receive the R1T. My current Kia EV6 has fantastic LKAS (lane keep assist) and adaptive cruise; it is mainly passive but I do believe they use some type of mapping b/c at times it "feels" different. It can also automatically change...

Thanks all for the suggestions and advice. I decided to stick w/Canyon Red over Limestone w/a powered tonneau cover.
Now, we'll see what the shop gifts in the near future before my build starts being manufactured. The next question might be do I give up the 20" Black ATs for a powered tonneau...
I have no problem waiting (been waiting this long); but being able to get the powered tonneau cover when I know this option is dead for me is what tempts me.
This is my thought; I think the powered tonneau cover will eventually be a unicorn but don't know it it'll be worth the headache if/when it malfunctions even if covered under warranty. I'm sure aftermarket options will pop up which provide good manual options. Hopefully something like this...
So, my configuration is Red Canyon w/the 20" AT tires and black interior. I ORIGINALLY had Limestone on order but when I finally saw it in person it was much lighter than I had anticipated and upon seeing the Red Canyon in person I liked it more so I swapped. My est. delivery date is Feb/March...
He got out, rear window was busted due to chain snapping on 1st recovery attempted.
Ended up needing a tow truck and boom to get him free....
